I could always add a few bright LEDS to the inside to brighten up the spaces between the button and the cover. Just tap into the 5 volt supply on the circuit board. Would be very easy, that is all the keyboard has. Once your used to a controller you seldom look at it anyway. I don't, there is a little rasied area for aligning your hand then your good to go. I have actually been considering a Saitek Cyborg game controller.

I ended up getting the Merc- I really anjoy the backlit keyboard- the lighting in my office isn't particularly cozy and with this KB, there's no need to have them on. I still have to get used to the slightly smaller querty section- I have a real hard time finding the delete, alt, shift etc. keys. I'm also having to relearn the COD key layout with the gaming setup- it's not that different, but my fingers were pretty highly trained to the old standard keyboard- I'm sure I'll love it in a few more days.

I've discovered one PITA with the merc- every time I crash from a failed OC, the keybard goes numb on me when it reboots- I have to power doan and turn the PSU off for a minute to get it to comunicate with the computer again. Anyone esle experience this?

No, not with my fang controller. Then again I don't OC much... What I wanted to mention is even if the company has no mod for the keyboard you will notice many of the other mods will work great. Many of them are generic for FPS games.
